IID:ba8bf582-1dd1-11b2-898c-f40246bc9a63
Inherits From:nsISupports
Status:FROZEN

This represents an ASN.1 object, where ASN.1 is "Abstract Syntax Notation number One".

The additional state information carried in this interface makes it fit for being used as the data structure when working with visual reprenstation of ASN.1 objects in a human user interface, like in a tree widget where open/close state of nodes must be remembered.
